Founded in 1980 by Bronnie Kupris, the Gallery of Wearable Art has enjoyed 25 years of creating unforgettable, one-of-a-kind show stopping gowns and evening jackets and coats.

This website shows highlights from the current collection. There is a list of forthcoming shows and an archive of recent work and a news section showing who has been wearing Gallery. If you can't find what you are looking for please call or visit us.

Throughout the years The Gallery maintained an “on street” presence first in Soho, then on the upper East Side. Now Bronnie has made a major change. Having closed her retail outlet, Bronnie has moved her studio and sewers to her landmarked Chelsea townhouse.

Bronnie is now focused on creating one of a kind modern heirloom jackets and coats for both day and evening. As ever, her trademark is to integrate antique textiles and trims making each item a true timeless unique work of art.
Over the years, Gallery has traditionally been favored by clients who want to make a dramatic entrance or whose taste is somewhat unconventional.

During her two decade history she has created bridal and evening attire in everything from Elizabethan to Mod, Victorian to roaring twenties, Edwardin to 40’s Harlowesque. Our brides have walked the aisles in red, fuschia, orange and silver in addition to ivory and white. Her jackets and coats embrace the same sensibility to historic influence.

While her focus will be primarily on jackets and coats, gowns will still be available by special order.
